Mercedes He has many problems at this start of the year. Their car is not competitive to be at the top and they have decided to change it completely for the next races, in Saudi Arabia and Australia. Meanwhile, there is a debate about the continuity of Lewis Hamilton.
AND Toto Wolff He doesn’t want to know any of that right now. He assures that it is something that will be dealt with in the future. “As much as we are transparent about how we have to turn the car around, This is not the time to talk about the situation of the pilot for 2024“said the Austrian.
“It’s not the moment. It is too early, we have to push everyone in the same direction, the drivers, the engineers, everyone, instead of throwing in the towel. We’ve never done that and we won’t now,” Wolff said.
Hamilton was very clear in Bahrainwhere on the radio he “pressured” his own: “Last year, there were things that I told them that were wrong, I said the problems that there are with the car…”.
Wolff values the ‘feedback’ with the seven-time F1 champion and affirms that they all push in the same direction: “He is an integral part of the team, he is trying to lift the team and we are all united.”
Mercedes does not want to know anything at this time about the Hamilton contract. The Briton has been in charge of denying the comments that place him outside that team. Comments that came from Damon Hill and Jenson Buttontwo champions of the Great Circus.
In Saudi Arabia, within a week, Mercedes hopes to bring the first evolutions that mark the path of the W14. A path that has started in a disastrous way and that they want to redirect before it is too late.
